According to Stacey Dales of NFL Network, a Chiefs staff member ran into the locker room to tell Peters he had not been ejected. Peters then returned to the field, wearing no socks, perhaps a sign that he truly thought his day was over.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed after the game that Peters thought he had been ejected.

The Chiefs lost to the Jets, 38-31, their sixth loss in seven games.
